It didn't take long at all at the doc's office today. In and out in less than 30 min. He already had a large graphic on the wall where he drew what he was going to do. A thing where he could draw on it then wipe it clean.
One aneurysm is larger than the other one. They plan to do one at a time or if conditions are right then they will do both while they are in there. The largest one will be done first. Then if they have to wait the other one will be done about 3 weeks later.
The last couple of weeks they have come out with a new material they are going to use. They are going to get the team together and do it on the 26th of Sept if they can get all four doctors together at the same time. Two surgeons, one heart surgeon, and one anesthetist person plus the nurses. Some of the doctors will have to come from other cities.
I am going to be optimistic and pray that things will go right.
Prayers will be appreciated.
Thanks for the prayers you all have already sent.
Love to all.
Have a blessed week.
Helen

Well it sounds like Ken is going to be in the best of hands, with the latest medical science. That is good. Being optimistic is even better. Positive thoughts are very powerful.
ReplyDeletePrayers and wishes for good health for Ken.
Take care Helen.
It sounds like he'll have the best doctors with the latest technology. He must have a good mental attitude as well. Both of you hang in there. It's a long wait til the 26th. You will be in my prayers and thoughts for a successful surgery and speedy recovery.
ReplyDeletePrayers said here. Hope all goes well and that he will be all better soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the entry about Ken. I have thought about the aneurysms, and hoped they would get in ASAP. Sounds like a good team, we will also pray, that sure cannot hurt.
ReplyDeleteOur Best to Ken,
Love to you from NC

It sounds like the medical team Ken has is good and will be well prepared to carry out this procedure. I'll be thinking of you and Ken and saying prayers Helen. Jeannette xxxx
ReplyDeleteI am hoping Ken will have a good outcome to the surgery and that they will be able to do both at the same time, but if not, good luck to him on both. It seems there is a price to living longer but I am sure his attitude is good and the price is worth it to him for continued life.
ReplyDeleteI too will be praying for a good outcome and a speedy recovery. It is amazing what they can do now . Modern medicine is a miracle in itself.
ReplyDeleteGlad you have a doctor that takes time to explain everything so you know what to expect too. That makes it much more reassuring.
Ken will be in our prayers Helen. Sounds like he is going to be in good hands. It would be nice if they could do it all at once so he will not have to go through any more. SO we will pray the conditions are great and they can get it all done. Prayers, Lona
ReplyDeleteGood luck to Ken, and hugs for you. Sometimes I think it's harder to be the one in the waiting room than the one in surgery. Prayers for you both ~
ReplyDeleteKeeping you both in my thoughts & prayers! Thank you for the update! (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteI'll keep fingers crossed for Ken and yourself, Helen.
ReplyDeletesending prayers!!
ReplyDeleteWill be praying for him.I'm sure Gods hands wil be guiding the Doctors and all will go well. Many Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteHi Helen,
ReplyDeleteYou have always been there for me, and i want to tell you that I care for you and your hubby. I pray that he will come out of surgery fit as a fiddle!! Bless you.
Warm Regards,

I will keep Ken in my thought's for this surgery to be successful and not be painful or stressful. May his physician be of the greatest ability to heal his health. mark
ReplyDeleteKeeping you and Ken in my thoughts and prayers..anything like this is very stressful, it sounds like you have the best in doctors and thank God they found it before something went really wrong...try to think positive thoughts and may God wrap his arms around both of you...Sandi
ReplyDeleteMy prayer is that Ken will respond to treatment and that the surgeries go well for him... and that you have the strength to handle all of the emotional stress that comes with it. God Bless the both of you!
ReplyDeleteSorry I am so late stopping by and you know I will be praying for Ken and you.
ReplyDeletePraying all goes well for him. As for the prostrate, my husband's is always enlarged. So we go by the number from the blood test they do for the prostrate cancer test. Not much fun growing older. Shame someone hasn't written a book about what we might expect. LOL But that's like having an instruction book for rearing children, no two are alike. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteI will be adding my prayers for you and Ken as well. Sorry I don't get here more often to see your beautiful pictures.
